Like jerryy said lithium batteries are shipped partially charged. Do you have ibis turned on, and is it set to continuous or shooting only? If continuous that could be the noise you hear. I’d also contact Amazon on the shutter count and missing wall plug.

Cool, hope you get some great images with it.

Yeah the 17-40 wasn’t announced when I purchased mine so didn’t have that decision. I went with the mk II as I was impressed with what offered and the amount of size reduction they managed. I saw this that has pretty good comparison between the mk II and the 17-40 https://fujiframe.com/articles/sigma-17-40-vs-16-55-fuji

I really like the image quality, size, and weight of my mark II. I never owned the mark I so I can’t help with comparison though it is highly regarded as a great lens. I don’t use mine for video but I will say it doesn’t have the smoothest zoom, which seems to be common complaint for the mark II. For photos it doesn’t bother me but I would imagine would be an issue if zooming while recording video.

I’ve had my X-T5 since launch and usually my missed focus shots are moving and using continuous focus. I suppose it’s possible I’ve experienced this too but have just assumed I missed the shot or usually it’s lower light shots I notice most missed focus. It seems like you’ve checked a lot of my thoughts that could be (release priority, AF+MF, face detection on, touch screen focus). Do you ever half press shutter to recompose? Could it be you half press and have slight delay before fully pressing? Wonder if you could rent another lens and see if experience same issues. I haven’t had my 16-55 mkii that long so I’ll watch for this more closely. Wish I could help more.

I’ve really enjoyed my 70-300 on my X-T5. What kind of photography and what subjects?

What aperture and where was the focus point?

Yes the second question is unusual. I always put cards from my X-T5 and X100V into my Mac to transfer and have no issues when putting back into the camera. I don’t ever delete or format the cards using my Mac. Once I’ve copied the photos to my Mac I use the camera to format the card. I’ve always heard that should format in camera to lower chance of issues and ensure file system is compatible with the specific camera.

Glad that helped solve your issue.

Both my X-T5 and X100V display the calculated iso when half press the shutter. Did you happen to change the shutter AE to off in the button/dial settings? I think if that is off the iso continues to show max iso when shutter half pressed.

You can backup and restore camera settings in the Fujifilm app, but I don’t think can copy to a different model camera.

Glad you figured it out. Easy to change a setting and forget to change it back, especially when in middle of shooting.

Yes, when using recipe that lists exposure compensation you would dial it in when composing the shot. You’d adjust it based on each individual photo and how you want the overall exposure to be for that particular image.

Version 4.10 The AF algorithm has been partially revised to improve focusing accuracy and subject tracking performance. https://fujifilm-x.com/en-us/support/download/firmware/cameras/x-t5/

I’m sorry I haven’t experienced the issues you are having. Have you tried another memory card? Sometimes cards can cause strange issues with cameras.
